FOI academics can teach too.

It's a good sign for future interest in freedom of information that three academics who follow the subject closely have been recognised in the 2008 Australian Learning and Teaching Council Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning.Congratulations all round

Rick Snell of the University of Tasmania:"For an outstanding capacity to inspire and encourage student learning across the undergraduate law degree from first-year to final year students"

Professor Rick Sarre of the University of South Australia:"For sustained excellence in course development and presentation that continues to motivate and inspire students of law and which has successfully integrated research with teaching"

Associate Professor Stephen Lamble ( and Ms Gillian Cowden) of the University of the Sunshine Coast: "For creating innovative curricula and developing research informed teaching resources that enhance graduate employment opportunities in the profession of journalism"
